Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02070324A1] The invention relates to a roof frame arrangement (8) for motor vehicles, comprising a front, a rear (9) and two lateral roof frames (10) and a support device for a motor vehicle rear hatchback door, with a hatchback hinge (24, 44) and at least one gas-pressure spring (21, 22, 47), whereby at least the lateral roof frames (10) comprise an inner shell (12) and a outer shell (11) connected thereto, forming a cavity between the inner shell (12) and the outer shell (11). According to the invention, a roof frame arrangement with increased stiffness may be disclosed, which can be produced in a simple space-saving manner with as few manufacturing tolerances as possible and where no greater sealing requirement is needed, whereby a rear end region of the lateral roof frame is embodied as a one-piece peripherally sealed hollow profile (14, 36, 51), enclosing the cavity and forming a housing, in which the hinge (24, 44, 50) and/or the gas-pressure spring (21, 22, 47) is arranged.
